The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Werner
You can purchase the dual cd/dvd online from HMV.CO.UK or at PLAY.COM
HMV is the least expensive.

My copy arrived yesterday from the Channel Islands - 4 days before the due release date! The dual disc contains a 20min interview on the dvd side and the overall package is impressive. Lyrics and a centre picture of Burt with (I presume) his kids are also included within the cd sleeve. I've only lis...

Agreed, Let's get back to the man and the music now, leaving our own personal political opinions for websites that deal with that subject. Burt has made statements and his views are clear - isn't that what democracy is about? We all know there's more to Burt than his recent comments and there's no p...

How cool does Burt look!!??

I hope they definately go with that cover - he does look great!

Hello all,
At This Time, the duel cd/dvd version can be pre-ordered at play.com for 13.99 GBP, showing a release date of 31/10/05.

Worth the extra 4.00GBP for the dvd!!

I am aware that the people who contribute to this forum are from all over the world, but as Americans, I would be interested to know what you think of Burt expressing his political opinions at this stage in his life.
Thanks,
Andrew

Following on from my earlier post, Burt is definitely being interviewed today on the Steve Wright show, BBC Radio 2. As I mentioned, you can listen again to the interview via the Radio 2 website. Also, Dionne gave an interview yesterday on Radio Merseyside, prior to her appearance at the Liverpool P...

I know, me too. There wasn't even a mention of why the interview didn't go ahead. I'm 99.9% sure they said it was that Friday and not next Friday. I have emailed the bbc asking what the position is but as yet have had no reply. I will post an update as soon as I hear back from them. Sorry! Andrew :o...

Firstly, thanks to JohnFoyle for the heads up! What a fantastic interview and wonderful words from Mr Bacharach ('call me Burt'!) I have transcribed a small part of the interview below: Interviewer - "At Bacharach's age, 78, you might expect him to be consulting a doctor, but in his case it's D...

Glad to hear you're ok Mark.

I have just heard on BBC Radio 2 that Burt is giving a live interview on Steve Wright's afternoon show 9th September 2005 (this Friday). I presume he will be talking about his new album. You can listen again to BBC Radio 2 shows online 24 hours after they are originally broadcast. I am hoping that B...

To my suprise, I spotted Mike Myers on the streets of Liverpool today. Unfortunately, he wasn't wearing his 'I heart Burt' top! We have the Beatles festival taking place this weekend so I'm sure I'll hear a few renditions of Baby It's You by a variety of tribute acts. Last year I saw one of the old ...

For anyone who's interested in this underrated British composer, BBC Radio2 is broadcasting a 3-part documentary on Lionel Bart titled "A Handful of Songs - The Lionel Bart Story" The first part was broadcast on Friday (the next 2 parts will be broadcast on the 2 following Fridays) and can...

Hello, Unfortunately, you can no longer listen to that documentary. However, the BBC has a tendancy to repeat these documentaries every couple of years and that one was broadcast about a year ago - I am often on the BBC's website and will post a message here if & when it becomes available again....

There was a decent documentery broadcast last week on BBC Radio2 in memory of Luthor. For anyone who would like to listen again here is the link and details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/documentaries/lvandross.shtml "In a one hour special, Radio 2's Paul Gambaccini pays tribute to the m...
